DMC isn't (yet!) compliant. Actually, it is ARM C++ compliant, so you'll
have to use the old style C++:
#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
must be modified to:
#include <iostream.h>

when trying to open up the std namespace the compiler gives me an error. I
simply use
using namespace std;
and the compiler tells me that std is an undefined identifier

Does anyone know if/when digitalmars will become compliant to the C++
standard (INCITS/ISO/IEC 14882-1998) - at least in terms of supporting std
namespaces and #include <iostream> rather than #include <iostream.h>? Are
there many other glaringly obvious noncompliant aspects of the compiler?
Thanks,

These are the two main onces AFAIK.
The compiler is (was) basically compliant to an older standard.
These things, i.e. namespaces and templates is being worked on, however, there
is no release date I am aware of.
